Average revenue per user (ARPU) has fallen slightly for business broadband users during 2004, from $17 to $15.4 per month. This fall is largely explained by reducing our estimate for security ARPU in less-developed countries. As business users start to subscribe to multiple value-added services, Point Topic expects ARPU to increase.
